I would be interested.  One thing that might be of concern to some
trippers is that Sequoyah will most likely require chains.  I visited
in late February this year, and chains were required then, and there 
was snow all over the roads.

I rented chains at the Chevron outside the park, for $7.50 a day, so
if you don't have them, it's no big deal.

Sequoyah is a _much_ better park than Yosemite, anyway!  Yosemite is
more like a resort.
